SUMMARY:Siah Armajani: Follow This Line
DESCRIPTION:Siah Armajani: Follow This Line is the first comprehensive retrospective in the United States devoted to the work of Minneapolis-based artist Siah Armajani. Born in Tehran in 1939\, Armajani moved to Minnesota in 1960 to attend Macalester College in St. Paul\, where he immersed himself in the study of philosophy and American literature. He has lived and worked in the Twin Cities ever since\, while exhibiting internationally. \nArmajani is best known today for his works of public art—including bridges\, gazebos\, reading rooms\, and gathering spaces—across the United States and Europe. Near the Walker\, the artist’s landmark 375-foot Irene Hixon Whitney Bridge connects Loring Park to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. This groundbreaking exhibition spans seven decades of the artist’s studio practice and resituates his work first within the context of prerevolution Tehran and\, later\, postwar and present-day United States. The exhibition encourages viewers to “follow the line” of language woven throughout Armajani’s practice\, which engages a range of thinkers and references—from Persian calligraphy to the manifesto\, letter\, and talisman; from poetry to mathematical equations and computer programming; from the Abstract Expressionist canvas to the vernacular architecture of rural America\, Bauhaus design\, and Russian Constructivism. \n

SUMMARY:Mario García Torres: Illusion Brought Me Here
DESCRIPTION:Illusion Brought Me Here is the first US survey to focus on the work of Mexico-based artist Mario García Torres (Mexico\, b. 1975). Working in a variety of media\, including video\, installation\, photography\, and sculpture\, the artist creates environments that explore obscure histories and personalities\, particularly those associated with conceptual art of the 1960s and 1970s. \nGarcía Torres juxtaposes facts with imagined scenes and dialogue to foreground the often blurred division between truth and fiction. Appropriation\, narrative\, repetition\, reenactment\, and the tropes of reportage are some of the strategies that he employs to uncover the limitations of memory and the subjectivity of historical records. \nIllusion Brought Me Here takes a radical approach to the traditional retrospective. A newly commissioned sound piece—a soundtrack compilation of all of García Torres’s media-based works to date—creates the framework for the exhibition\, which features a selection of artworks and site-specific installations. \nThe show is organized by the Walker and copresented with WIELS\, Contemporary Art Centre\, Brussels. It will be accompanied by the first publication to survey the artist’s work\, published by the two institutions. \n

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Price
DESCRIPTION:London-based artist Elizabeth Price (UK\, b. 1966) creates richly layered\, moving image works made specifically for gallery settings. Composed of a broad range of imagery sourced from analogue and digital photography\, animation\, and motion graphics\, her works are often accompanied by scrolling text\, narrated by a computerized voice and paired with music. \nConceived in response to the architecture and past history of the Walker’s gallery\, this solo exhibition features two new moving image works—FELT TIPP (working title) and KOHL (both 2018)—marking the artist’s first commission for a US museum. Projected floor to ceiling at more than 20 feet\, FELT TIPP focuses on design motifs of men’s neckties from the 1970s and ’80s with patterns that evoke electronic networks and digital systems. Exploring the tie as both a sign of professional distinction and a sexually charged object\, the work weaves together narratives of early computer technologies in the workplace and the gendered distinctions of its workforce. In KOHL\, four fictional characters tell stories related to coal: its link to ink\, writing\, and the archive as well as its uses as a source of fuel and a cosmetic. Seen together\, Price’s new works take motifs of dress and body adornment to reflect upon the relationship between the material and digital\, sites of labor\, and markers of class. \n

SUMMARY:I am you\, you are too
DESCRIPTION:At a time of heightened uncertainty\, division\, and geopolitical tensions\, I am you\, you are tooforegrounds works from the Walker’s collections that explore contemporary life through themes of citizenship and belonging\, borders and barriers\, and ways in which everyday life informs our understanding of ourselves. Bringing together a diverse\, multigenerational\, and international group of artists\, the exhibition questions how we memorialize the past and understand the social\, geographic\, and political structures that shape us. \nThe show’s title is taken from I M U U R 2 (2013)\, a room-scaled installation by Danh Vo that considers how collected objects\, such as knickknacks and souvenirs\, can communicate who we are. Monuments and shared public space play a key role for Francis Alÿs\, Song Dong\, and Robert Longo\, whose works examine the relationship between the individual and the state. Chantal Akerman and Julie Mehretu reflect upon shifting geographical borders and changing political systems\, while Postcommodity and Wolfgang Tillmans reference recent debates on the Mexico-US border and Brexit\, respectively. While some artists draw on recognizable places and known stories\, others turn to abstraction to elicit themes of the place of the home\, the city\, and national belonging. \nIn the exhibition’s final gallery\, a selection of works from the collection hang against wallpapers by Yto Barrada\, Yoko Ono\, and Adam Pendleton\, forming unexpected juxtapositions across generations\, geographies\, and media. Seen together\, these pieces chart ways that artists have challenged prevailing systems\, including gender\, race\, and sexual orientation. In presenting a broad range of artistic approaches\, I am you\, you are too draws out timely questions of national identity\, shifting political borders\, and international and intercultural dialogue. \n

SUMMARY:Nutcracker (not so) Suite
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Nutcracker (not so) Suite is the spiked punch at an otherwise dry\, kid-friendly party\, and it’s worth splurging for\, like a top-shelf martini.” – Star Tribune \nThink you know the Nutcracker? Think again! Spice up the most wonderful time of the year with this cheeky take on a classic tale! \nNutcracker (not so) Suite careens through 1960s New York City as Marie and her egomaniac mother\, Mama Flo\, prepare to put on the holiday soirée of the season. When the party goes off the rails\, Marie’s sassy Barbie and hunky Ken doll spring to life and escort her through an off-kilter dream world. Skewering everything from classical ballet to pop culture personalities\, Nutcracker (not so) Suite is the naughty holiday entertainment you didn’t know you needed. \nStarring Bradley Greenwald as Mama Flo\, Steven Epp as the Uncle\, and Myron Johnson as the Rat Queen! \nRecommended for ages 14+ \nAbout James Sewell Ballet\nJames Sewell Ballet was founded in New York City by James Sewell and Sally Rousse and brought to Minnesota in 1993. Combining their expertise\, vision\, and chutzpah\, they envisioned a close-knit company of dance artists willing to both challenge their physical limits and expand their notions about ballet. Over two decades later\, critically acclaimed JSB performances move and delight audiences across the country. The embodiment of the original vision is a professional company of dancers performing innovative work that explores the technical boundaries of ballet. \nclick here for more information. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
